Abstract

A magnesium alloy having Y, Zn, Ca, Mn, Ag, Ce, Zr, or Si. The alloy is distinguished in that, in the event of suitable treatment, the alloy is convertible into a very fine-grained microstructure, in particular, having grain sizes less than 20 μm. The alloy components are not or are hardly toxicologically relevant.
